Terry Smith is a mean man dare I say. He’s one you don’t want to look dead on in the eyes.

[@davycrokett3862]

Ty for your hard work for me love this

[@Grindstaff09]

I do like it!!

[@redlinemando]

Listen to the timing on this stuff. There ain't a modern day band with half the drive that in this. As Jimmy would have said "They ain't nigh close." Keep in mind, this was just a jam session. Imagine sitting on the front row of one of their shows during this time.

[@mlwsf]

Have you heard Billy Strings current band?

[@valerieewell1119]

The Kody Norris Show. Check them out!

[@countryascanb5229]

Billy Strings and Kody Norris both are very talented. However, they can't sing anywhere near like Jimmy nor any in this trio.

[@redlinemando]

@@countryascanb5229 I agree. I worked with a band this last year (2021) that has played quite a few shows with Cody & knows him fairly well. Cody is a great entertainer with a tight sound & his band are all very talented musicians. Although I haven't personally heard him say this, the band leader I worked for, says that Cody will tell you that he's not a good singer. In my opinion, he makes his material work well for him & his crowd response reflects that. The only critique I have is that they play certain material WAY too fast. Jimmy, Paul, JD along with many of the founders & veterans of this music, proved many times over that you can have plenty of drive without having to play with excessive speed. It's all about listening to each other, reacting & finding the "groove" that fits each individual song. If a song sounds chaotic, it's too fast & you'll lose the intended feeling of the song. Anyway, that's just my quarter's worth on it. Hope you are doing well & God Bless!!!!!!!

Lol I'd hate to follow this fine band !

[@lennartsjostrom3167]

Timing is important. Feeling too.

[@gomez8733]

Terry Smith - the current bass player with the Grascals - he's about 6'2" tall.

[@gomez8733]

Terry Smith - Bass

[@TakehikoSaikiBluegrassAlbums]

Thank you, gomez! :-) Take

[@christinabrown7308]

It doesn't look like the same Terry Smith, you guys. Terry Smith if the Grascals was born in 1960. This album was recorded in the early 50s.

[@joshuatate5671]

The title says 1984

[@Grindstaff09]

I wonder what the year was...pre-Elvis?

[@keithwaddell2714]

Released in 1984, recorded in the 60s.

[@banjosforbreakfast6086]

Terry overdubbed the bass in the studio before the album was released.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

who played the fiddle? the guy recordin' it? all the instruments are there when the fiddle's playin'.

[@TakehikoSaikiBluegrassAlbums]

Rodney, I'm not too sure, but the fiddler could be Charlie Cline. :-) Take

[@marcbolen6169]

Who played fiddle on the Paddy On The Turnpike cut?

[@dankemble2718]

Good question. Doesn't sound like Paul Williams on mandolin, either. Could this be a studio recording inserted here?

[@treystewart2708]

I wonder if it's Benny Martin !
